Charles Haddon Spurgeon's Evening Devotional For Thursday March 26, 2020 |
Evening Time: 11:30 PM PST
"When He cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels." --Mark 8:38
If we have been partakers with Jesus in His shame, we shall be sharers with
Him in the lustre which shall surround Him when He appears again in glory. Art
thou, beloved one, with Christ Jesus? Does a vital union knit thee to Him? Then
thou art to-day with Him in His shame; thou hast taken up His cross, and gone
with Him without the camp bearing His reproach; thou shalt doubtless be with Him
when the cross is exchanged for the crown. But judge thyself this evening; for
if thou art not with Him in the regeneration, neither shalt thou be with Him
when He shall come in His glory. If thou start back from the black side of
communion, thou shalt not understand its bright, its happy period, when the King
shall come, and all His holy angels with Him. What! are angels with
Him? And yet He took not up angels--He took up the seed of Abraham. Are the
holy angels with Him? Come, my soul, if thou art indeed His own beloved,
thou canst not be far from Him. If His friends and His neighbours are called
together to see His glory, what thinkest thou if thou art married to Him? Shalt
thou be distant? Though it be a day of judgment, yet thou canst not be far from
that heart which, having admitted angels into intimacy, has admitted thee into
union. Has He not said to thee, O my soul, "I will betroth thee unto Me in
righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness"? Have not His own lips
said it, "I am married unto thee, and My delight is in thee"? If the angels, who
are but friends and neighbours, shall be with Him, it is abundantly certain that
His own beloved Hephzibah, in whom is all His delight, shall be near to Him, and
sit at His right hand. Here is a morning star of hope for thee, of such
exceeding brilliance, that it may well light up the darkest and most desolate
experience.
